BUTTE COUNTY &GT;&GT; The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for eastern Butte, Shasta and Trinity counties through 11 a.m. Tuesday.

"A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occuring now, or will shortly," according to the warning issued by the office in Sacramento. "A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior."

Winds of up to 40 mph and abundant lightning could lead to lightning induced wildfires, according to the advisory.

A "fire watch warning" will go into effect Monday at 5 p.m. and continue through Tuesday for the rest of Butte County. To view an interactive map from the Weather Service, visit http://www.wrh.noaa.gov.
